Refer to the Regasm documentation for more information on the regasm tool.
| Attribute | Type | Description | Required | 
|---|---|---|---|
| assembly | file | The name of the file to register. This is provided as an alternate to using the task's assemblies. | False | 
| codebase | bool | Set the code base registry setting. | False | 
| regfile | file | Registry file to export to instead of entering the types directly into the registry. | False | 
| registered | bool | Only refer to already registered type libraries. | False | 
| typelib | file | Export the assemblies to the specified type library and register it. | False | 
| unregister | bool | Unregister the assembly. The default is false. | False | 
| failonerror | bool | Determines if task failure stops the build, or is just reported. The default is true. | False | 
| if | bool | If true then the task will be executed; otherwise, skipped. The default is true. | False | 
| timeout | int | The maximum amount of time the application is allowed to execute, expressed in milliseconds. Defaults to no time-out. | False | 
| unless | bool | Opposite of if. If false then the task will be executed; otherwise, skipped. The default is false. | False | 
| verbose | bool | Determines whether the task should report detailed build log messages. The default is false. | False | 
| Attribute | Type | Description | Required | 
|---|---|---|---|
| exename | string | The name of the executable that should be used to launch the external program. | False | 
| managed | ManagedExecution | Specifies whether the external program should be treated as a managed application, possibly forcing it to be executed under the currently targeted version of the CLR. | False | 
| useruntimeengine | bool | Deprecated. Specifies whether the external program is a managed application which should be executed using a runtime engine, if configured. The default is false. | False | 
Represents a command-line argument.
 When passed to an external application, the argument will be quoted when appropriate. This does not apply to the line parameter, which is always passed as is. 
| Attribute | Type | Description | Required | 
|---|---|---|---|
| dir | directory | The value for a directory-based command-line argument; will be replaced with the absolute path of the directory. | False | 
| file | file | The name of a file as a single command-line argument; will be replaced with the absolute filename of the file. | False | 
| if | bool | Indicates if the argument should be passed to the external program. If true then the argument will be passed; otherwise, skipped. The default is true. | False | 
| line | string | List of command-line arguments; will be passed to the executable as is. | False | 
| path | <path> | The value for a PATH-like command-line argument; you can use :or;as path separators and NAnt will convert it to the platform's local conventions, while resolving references to environment variables. | False | 
| unless | bool | Indicates if the argument should not be passed to the external program. If false then the argument will be passed; otherwise, skipped. The default is false. | False | 
| value | string | A single command-line argument; can contain space characters. | False | 
A single command-line argument containing a space character.
<arg value="-l -a" />
    Two separate command-line arguments.
<arg line="-l -a" />
     A single command-line argument with the value \dir;\dir2;\dir3 on DOS-based systems and /dir:/dir2:/dir3 on Unix-like systems. 
<arg path="/dir;/dir2:\dir3" />
    Register types in a single assembly.
<regasm assembly="myAssembly.dll" />
    
      Register types of an assembly and generate a type library containing definitions of accessible types defined within the assembly.
<regasm assembly="myAssembly.dll" typelib="myAssembly.tlb" />
    
      Register types of set of assemblies at once, while specifying a set of reference assemblies.
